Healthy twist on Pasta in Bechamel Sauce

Standard

I Love Pasta. In any and every form. I think I was an Italian in my past life to be in love with all kinds of pasta recipes.

My mother would probably vouch for this as at a very young age, I was experimenting cooking pasta when it was not so common to eat them in India.

I could eat pasta every night and never get tired of it. But then again, the creamy cheesy Pasta in Bechamel Sauce is not something you can eat everyday, specially when you are trying to keep your weight in check OR fighting a cholesterol problem.

So I have come up with a healthier alternative to the white bechamel sauce. Here is the secret ingredient that I use …

… Chickpeas.

The pasta tastes lovely and creamy with a sauce made of boiled chickpea paste.

So what are you waiting for? Take out your pans and ladles, time to Pasta!!!

On a side note – I used Tricolor Spirali from Del Monte , they look as lovely as they taste.
